Name: Bothriochloa barbinodis - Trichloris pluriflora Grassland Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This community, found in the southern Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes and Tamaulipan Thornscrub ecoregions, is a midgrass grassland dominated by <i>Trichloris pluriflora</i> and <i>Bothriochloa barbinodis</i>. Other herbaceous species include <i>Bouteloua</i> spp., <i>Setaria</i> spp., <i>Pappophorum bicolor, Bouteloua dactyloides, Hilaria belangeri, Trichloris crinita</i>, and <i>Heteropogon contortus</i>. Most examples of this community type have become shrub-dominated due to lack of prescribed burning. This community naturally occurred as an open matrix of midgrass species within native mesquite - acacia shrublands dominated by <i>Prosopis glandulosa, Vachellia farnesiana</i>, and <i>Acacia rigidula</i>. This community once occupied uplands in the South Texas Plains and ranged into Mexico. It has been virtually eliminated due to conversion to tame pasture or cropland, or due to lack of burning. The few remaining examples are in private ownership and are highly disturbed because of overgrazing and brush clearing.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31145-{FADCCC46-36E9-4F43-8D7B-1A9E547E2098} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
